On his radio show yesterday afternoon, Sean Hannity urged Arizona Republicans to repeal the state’s 1864 abortion ban.

Hours later, when they didn’t, he told his Fox audience that Democrats were to blame.

I don't like this but if you squint, no CCDC historic district plus no bike lanes plus more speed and red light cameras looks like a revenue-maximizing strategy for a district facing a budget crisis.

Fox News gave the AZ Supreme Court's abortion ban just 12 minutes of coverage yesterday.

Republicans are desperately trying to sweep the problem they created under the rug.

Fox News viewers who only know Leo Terrell as Leo 2.0, the MAGA-loving sycophant, are learning today that he's a longtime defender and friend of OJ Simpson who hit the airwaves during the trial declaring OJ's innocence and even served as his spokesman at times.

NEW: Our Administration is taking historic action to reduce the number of firearms sold without background checks. This will help keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and felons.

Now, Congress needs to do its part and pass universal background checks.

Great reporting that shows how MPD is being more proactive by putting police resources in crime hotspots & making arrests.

Also note that the suspect cited in the story has been charged by the USAO, which is much more common today than in past years.

Bannon said:

“No Republican knows that oil production under Biden is higher than ever. But Jill Stein’s people do.'

It is probably a good sign for the nation's politics that ~80% of commentary on Tucker Carlson now comes from people on the right criticizing him for being a bigoted loon -- the trajectory speaks to his waning influence.

Got sucked into the black hole of a Laura Loomer interview with the Blaze and this is a shoutout to all the lucky ppl who have never had to hear Loomer screech 'ZELENSKY IS A JEW!'

I envy your peace of mind.
